Mother Nature

Discover the radical new vision of motherhood and its crucial role in human evolution in this provocative and groundbreaking anthropological study by renowned author Sarah Hrdy. Stripping away stereotypes and gender-biased myths, Hrdy argues that traditional views of maternal behavior are essentially wishful thinking codified as objective observation. Through a nuanced and stunningly original interpretation of relationships between mothers and fathers, babies, and social groups, this book offers not only a revolutionary new meaning to motherhood, but an important new understanding of human evolution.
